    1. Toews could sign 1-day contract to retire as Blackhawk (nhl.com)
    2. [Russo] Believe Bill Guerin will be meeting with Quinn Hughes and his camp in Michigan today/this week. As we've long reported, Wild want to go 5-8 years (7-year max term after Sept. 16 in new CBA). 3-year extension still makes most sense for Quinn so he can align with Jack's deal in NJ
    3. Former Jets, Maple Leafs G Hutchinson retires at 36
